After receiving the fifty good horses sent by the Soma family, Asadai handed them over directly to the Kawagoe Knights. The Knights, who had been suspended from replenishment, were able to join fifty mounted samurai. And the quality of Michioma is considered to be among the best in the country.

And Jiangjing Yinzhi was also left in the temple by Jieshan Yunsheng for a few days before leaving. Naturally, after this news was known to the Date family, I really didn't know what Ei Yinji did when he entered the territory of the Uesugi family, and the ninjas trained by Kato Duanzo and Deura Shouqing were also very good at blocking the information.

As soon as Eai Yinji went back, all the retainers of the Soma family cheered, and there was nothing else in the Soma collar that only the horse farm and the stable were the most! Naturally, a small daimyo like them was overjoyed to receive the assistance of the Uesugi family. Before the Uesugi army could come out, these people took the lead!

Soma Shengyin wanted to inherit the territory of Wari Castle on the grounds that he had the blood of the Date family, and immediately sent a thousand troops to surround Wari Castle. The thousand troops of the Soma family came out, and that was poured out.

When Chaoding learned about it, he couldn't believe that the new fat field chief urged him to help him. That's not all, the Asadaki sent Kato Duanzo to Echigo with a letter of help written by Mako Nakajo, the main room of Ota Shimasa (specially addressed to the Yohoku people), and asked the lord of Hirabayashi Castle, Katsucho Shibabe, the lord of Yoshie Castle, Yoshie Munobu, and the lord of Kurokawa Castle, Kiyomi Kurokawa, to send troops out of the territory of the Hada family. And the people of Yangbeizhong still think that the Zhongtiao family is the pen of Yangbeizhong, and they have more or less sent troops. Of course, Date Harumune is naturally not a good bird, on the one hand, let Nakano Munetoki lead two thousand reinforcements to relieve the siege, not to mention, he also pulled the two thousand troops of Mogami Yoshimori together in Dewa to prepare to meet the Uesugi Nagao coalition army.

On September 30, Katsucho Sebe, Munenobu Yoshie, and Kiyomi Kurokawa sent someone to inform the dragon girl first, but they immediately sent troops before they could get permission. The three of them were mainly Katsunaga Sebe, and a total of 5,000 troops entered the territory of the Dewa Date family. Asadachi also personally led an army of 300 heavy infantry, 200 iron cannon ashigaru, 450 knights of the Kawagoe Knights, 100 saber samurai (some of the strong ashigaru swords), 200 samurai (composed of meritorious and strong ashigaru, all of which were distributed with carcass), 1,300 spear ashigaru, 500 bow ashigaru, and 200 nagi samurai, a total of 3,250 troops assembled from Wakamatsu Castle. It can be said that Katsucho Sebe and Asadashi launched an attack on the Date family at the same time. Shinbata Chotsu also personally led the spear ashigaru 500 and the bow ashigaru 100 to rendezvous with the Japanese dynasty on the same day. This time, even Saito Michizo took out and went to the front line together, so he left Ota Shimasa, Tao Zhuo Zhenxuan and his son, Akechi Mitsuhide, Usami Seikatsu, and Anazawa Tosami's family behind the ability, and the rest of the retainers all participated in the war.

Since the Date family had not yet separated the soldiers and peasants, it was now the autumn harvest and could not quickly mobilize many available troops. After hastily assembling a 1,000 army on October 1, Date Harumune fought with Mogami Yoshimori's 2,000 troops and Sebe Katsunaga first. However, Kato Duanzo and Deura Morikiyo were responsible for leading hundreds of ninjas to infiltrate Date in this campaign to make false reports, assassinate and kill Date ninjas.

Probably because Katsucho Sebe and others were unfamiliar with the place of life, they were dragged by the Mogami family, giving the Date family time to mobilize the surrounding troops. And Chaoding also passed through Reyan Castle to the vicinity of Imaizumi, and also cut off the rear road of Mogami Yoshimori's army.

Mogami Yoshimori, who was originally fighting fiercely near Teko Castle, hurriedly led his army back to retreat after hearing that the back road was cut off. Who knew that his withdrawal would form a complete rout of the Mogami army! Katsucho Sebe and others also took the opportunity to lead the army to rush and kill for a while, and almost wiped out the Mogami army! Mogami Yoshimori himself withdrew his skills from the mountains with the help of his retainers, with only two dozen people. After the battle of the 5,000 Long Tail Army, there were only 4,300 troops left (not seriously wounded, including the lightly wounded). And some of the seriously wounded who lost their combat effectiveness could only let them stay in the small country.

Asadaki first stationed himself near Imaizumi, and after resting for the night, the 4,300 troops of Katsucho Sebe and others also arrived at Imaizumi. After Chaoding directly gathered the army of Sebe Katsucho and others, he arranged the 4,400 guns of the two armies into six phalanxes and a circle array, and the six phalanxes were all hexagonal encirclements, a circle formation and a small phalanx in the middle. The four corners of the innermost small phalanx were composed of the Naginata samurai and the spear samurai of the Uesugi Army. The three hundred heavy infantry and four hundred and fifty knights maneuvered in the formation to block the enemy, and all the guns were placed on their guns and did not move; The 1,400 men were divided equally among the six outer formations; Two hundred iron artillery ashigaru men were placed in the Chinese army. And this array is the six-flower array created by Li Jing. The odd soldiers controlled by the commander in the center of the Six Flowers Array are in a circle, and the time it takes to meet the main soldiers on the periphery from any point in the circle is the same, so the difficulty of controlling the troops is greatly reduced, and the commander does not need to calculate the time difference between them, because the time for them to arrive at the periphery is the same. The commanders of the six outer formations were Mori Takamasa (Hojo Takamasa) in the first formation, Hiroyoshi Nambada in the second formation, Kiyomi Kurokawa in the third formation, Munenobu Yoshie in the fourth formation, Nagatsu Shinbata in the fifth formation, and Ogasawara Sada in the sixth formation. The commanders of the round array were Kenji Namba and Mori Takahiro (Hojo Takahiro), and Asadachi was the general in charge of the Chinese army. The remaining 500 troops were on standby two hundred paces north of the formation, with Miyagi political control. The Commander quickly set up a small high platform, only two rooms high. All the ashigaru and samurai must strictly follow the orders of the court, and there must be no mistakes in the middle. As for Sebe Katsucho and the others, Chao Ding still gave each of them fifty small gold sentences to buy them first. However, Chao Ding didn't know about the twenty-five variations of the Six Flower Array, and he only named it the Six Scales Array (similar to the Fish Scale Array, but not exactly).

Date Harumune also led 4,000 Date Army, 1,000 Osaki Army, and 2,000 Kasai Army to the vicinity of Imaizumi in the early morning of October 2. But upon arrival, what greeted your eyes was nothing more than a huge formation on the plains! A formation that no one in the whole of Oshu can understand.

"My lord has asked Dr. Date Sakyo to break the formation!" When Mori Takamasa saw Date Harumune leading 7,000 troops coming in the array, he roared at Date Army.

"Doctor Date Sakyo, the two armies are about the same number. If we don't take the initiative to break the formation, we and other Oshu samurai will be laughed at by the world. Osaki Yoshinao said to Date Harumune with his fat head and big ears, although he is not ready to be the first soldier, but he can't let the army under his command be sent to death at will.

"Indeed, who knows this?!" Date Harumune himself is a hillbilly, not to mention, although he has also read books, but he has not read a few military books. Not to mention knowing this formation.

"Father, my son knows! This is the Bagua Array that evolved after Zhuge Kongming of the Han Dynasty improved Cao Ren's Eight Gate Golden Lock Array. "It was none other than Date Terumune, the young master of the Date family, who said this. Although the current Mr. Hui is only eighteen years old, he has read the military book, but whether he understands it or not is clear to him.

"Yes! The young master of the Date family is really different, and this formation of the great powers of the Celestial Empire is known! "A bunch of vassals came over from the Osaki and Kasai retainers and said that Date Terumune was really smart. This made Date Harumun's face more face-saving, and he didn't spoil this precious son less.

"This eight-door golden lock array also. The Eight Gates: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open. If you enter from the birth gate, the view gate, and open the door, it is auspicious; If you enter from the injured door, the shocked door, or the closed door, you will be injured; From the door of Dumen, the door of death, and the people die. Although the eight gates are neatly arranged, they are only in the middle of the host. If you hit someone from the southeast corner of Shangshengmen and go out to the west gate, its array will be chaotic. "If you want to say that Date Huizong is the first time to come to this war and it is also his first battle, he will still endorse it, but he instantly copied the original text in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms at this time.

"Southeast?! We're in the south! "Ghost Court Ryoshi immediately found out that it was a good geography, if he really entered the formation according to the young master's idea, Uesugi Chao would definitely die!

"Without further ado, if there is less of a force, it will make Uesugi Asadashi run, and I hope that Kasai-sama and Osaki-sama will give me a helping hand." Date Harumun wouldn't be stupid enough to lead someone to rush in by himself, how could he do it without pulling a few cushions?

"That's nature, that's nature." Osaki Yoshinao and Kasai's cronies said so, but they were still a little afraid. No one can say for sure if Date Terumun was wrong.

"My lord, Lord Mori of Inowashiro is going to serve the Date family, and his condition is that Aizu Uesugi will be owned by him." Makino Kunaka came to Date Harumune's side at this time and whispered, he had been in charge of contact with Inawashiro Shengguo.

"What?! He has a lot of appetite! I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow it! Although Date Harumi said this, he thought about it and said, "Then it will be as he asks." ”

"Yes." Makino Hisaka left immediately. As for why Inomiao Daishengguo rebelled, it was because he was angry about the matter of the court letting the Ashina clan live. The family crests of the Inomisayo family and the Ashina family are all three and two, but both of them think they are concubines. Originally, Inawashiro Shengguo pinned his hopes on the Uesugi family to completely destroy the Ashina family, and then let the Inawasai family change the Miao character to inherit the Ashina family. However, the heavens are not as good as the people, and in order to buy people's hearts, the court left the Ashina clan who was born, and let the princess of the Satake family marry him to obtain the Satake family's rule over the Uesugi family in Aizu.

Date Harumun still underestimated him too much, if he had raised so many ninjas to eat dry rice, the Uesugi family would have been wiped out a long time ago. Makino Kunaka's contact with Inawashiro Mori still learned about it from Kato Duanzo's mouth, but he didn't say it, and he didn't let the ninjas make a noise, so he kept the appearance that no one knew. And Chaoding left a lot of capable people this time, such as Ota Zizheng, Tao Zhuo Zhenxuan, Akechi Mitsuhide, etc. Usami Dingkatsu and Anazawa Toshimitsu have been placed in Toyama Castle and other places in order to see Inawashiro Mori Kuni.

In the end, Date Harunemune hesitated for a moment and let Onita Ryonao take the lead, leading a total of 2,000 troops of Date Minoto to join the 2,000 troops of Kasai and Osaki into the formation. Of course, Kasai's cronies also handed over 1,500 troops to Yoneya Tsunehide, Kashiwayama Akiyoshi, and Kawa Yoriya; Osaki Yoshinao handed over the 500 troops to the clan Takatsugu and the clan Yoshitsugi.

In the Chinese army, Chao Ding saw their movements in his eyes, and he had long expected that he would enter from the southeast according to the script of the Three Kingdoms, but this six-scale array was different from the eight-gate golden lock array, and it was not the same shortcoming.

Ghost Ibwa Ryonao was a wooden fish head, and he was the first to rush into the formation with a samurai on horseback, and Bow Ashigaru did not get the order to release all the arrows. Seeing this, the two of them, Oniwa Ryonao and Date Minoto, first led two hundred horseback warriors towards the west of the formation, but when they reached the west first, they found that there was a phalanx blocking due west, not the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array as mentioned by Date Huizong, but the Six Gates!

"Zuo Yue, go back the same way, there is no door due west! Let's go back. Date Minoto felt that something was wrong, and immediately persuaded the ghost court to be straight.

"It's not a raw door, then withdraw!" Oni Ting Liangzhi could also see on the high platform on the west side of the formation, and the white-robed Chaoding was smiling at them.

"Withdraw!" Since the ashigaru and samurai behind were all on foot, many of them were crowded in the gun array. As soon as they heard that they were going to withdraw, they immediately rushed to flee! All the peasants and soldiers have no scruples and the existence of samurai and lords, and their own lives are the first priority.

"Close! Heavy infantry in position! Iron Cannon Ashigaru stepped forward! "Chao Ding saw that the time had come, and directly closed the entire six-scale array! The six roads outside were all blocked by gun-to-gun, and internally, the circular array of heavy infantry and iron artillery outside the Chinese army was naturally put in place, and all the spear warriors and naginata samurai all raised their guns and knives and slowly advanced.

"It's come to this, kill!" Ghost Ting Ryonao still wanted to pull a few cushions, but his subordinates and the forces of Osaki and Kasai did not listen to his orders. These people have never seen such a big scene in their lives! Don't say that it reflects in time!

Bang bang bang! As the iron cannon came into fire, the Ida's samurai on their horses were killed and fell off their horses. The heavy infantry was the first to block the vanguard of Yoshinao Oniba and Minoru Date, while Hiroyoshi Nambada and Kiyomi Kurokawa, who were located in the west, also led half of the army of their headquarters to kill, and constantly used spears to knock the Date family's horseback samurai off their horses. And even if Oniwa Ryonao was brave, he was picked off by Nambada Hiroyoshi with a shot, and after getting off the horse, he was cut off by the Uesugi family. Date Minoru was so frightened that he fell off his horse as early as the iron cannon ashigaru shot, and was finally captured by Kurokawa Kiyomi's Ashigaru. Before half a pillar of incense was reached, all the horseback warriors of the Date family's main combat force were killed.

"Oni Ting Liangzhi was taken by the Uesugi family's general Nambada Hiroyoshi!" With this shout of Namba Hiroyoshi and the raising of the head of Onita Ryonao, the warriors of the Date family quickly lost their high morale. Subsequently, Kurokawa Kiyomi's third formation also assisted Yoshie Munenobu in the fourth formation, and the two of them also cooperated tacitly. As the heavy infantry ran over from north to south, they led the gun array from behind to slaughter the remaining enemy troops.

"Not good! They are surrounded! "Osaki Yoshinao and Kasai's cronies, who are most concerned about the battle situation, can be considered to understand that the important combat power under their command is about to be finished. But they did not dare to go up to the rescue, they knew that the army had entered not the gate of life but the door of death.

"The enemy general Kashiwayama Akiyoshi was taken by the Nagao family Yoshie Sonobu!"

"The enemy general Yoneya Tsunehide was taken by the Nagao family, Kurokawa Kiyomi!"

"The enemy general Date Minoru was captured alive by the Nagao family, Kurokawa Kiyomi!"

Seeing that it was almost over, Chaoding decided to open the southern intersection and let the remnants of the enemy escape. "Three, four, return!" Asadaki motioned to Toshizo Saito, who was wearing a black lacquered carcass next to him, and told him to get ready.

The clan Takatsugu and others, who were already exhausted in battle, saw the hope of living and immediately led their personal samurai to escape, and did not forget to kill some peasant soldiers who stood in the way along the way.

"Knights of the Kawagoe! Out of the line! Saito Rizo drew his saber and pointed forward, and after pointing forward, he led four hundred and fifty white-robed knights who were already unbearable to slash the peasants, ashigaru and samurai along the road in the formation.

As the Three Kingdoms Alliance troops who had just escaped wanted to rest for a while, they found that they were caught up by the cavalry again! They were already inseparable from the gunshots, and now they finally escaped from the formation and no longer had the strength to fight again, and some of them stood and sat directly to let the knights of the Uesugi army harvest their lives.

"The Kazukawa Yoriya was taken by the Uesugi family's riding general, Saito Rizo!" Saito Rizo shouted as he held aloft the head of one of the Kasai family generals he had just killed.

Both the Takaki clan and the Yoshitsugu clan of the Osaki clan were trampled to death in the chaos, and Tsunehide Yoneya was killed by his peasant soldiers while fleeing and presented to the Uesugi family. Date Harumune and the others couldn't stand it at all and had to evacuate in a hurry, and Date Harumune ran away with his family after returning to Yonezawa Castle, leaving a lot of belongings and family treasures behind.

"My lord, why do you want the Knights to kill the fleeing enemy army?" Nambada Hiroshi is a little incomprehensible, this is not the style of the court! As far as the eye can see, only a few of the 4,000 troops of the three coalition forces are still alive, and countless corpses are lying on the ground.

"You don't understand, there were no conditions like this before, but now it's different. There is a good saying - 'There is a new thing like terror, and the more afraid a person is, the faster his feelings will die; Terror in the true sense of the word is not a static state, but an ever-changing dynamic. It is the moment when hope turns to despair. Asada's words were quickly written down by Sanada Masayuki, who was watching with relish on the sidelines, and this sentence was exactly what he wanted to learn.
